Bartender Taylor Russey recently received a tip from a customer that will not be soon forgotten: a Powerball ticket worth $50,000.

The O’Fallon resident said it was not at all unusual for this particular customer to gift Draw Games tickets to others.

“One of the regulars will buy the rest of the regulars in the bar Lottery tickets every now and then, especially when it’s high,” Russey said. “And he did that on Saturday – he bought all of us Lottery tickets.”
